Grey Relational Bidirectional Projection Method for Multicriteria Decision Making with Hesitant Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linguistic Information

We investigate a novel approach for multicriteria decision making (MCDM) with hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic information. To compare the hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic term sets (HIFLTSs), we propose a comparison method of HIFLTSs. A family of distance measures of HIFLTSs is developed. After that, we propose the grey relational bidirectional projection method based on the proposed comparison method and distance measures of IVHFLNs for dealing with MCDM problems. Furthermore, we establish a nonlinear optimization model to obtain the weight vector of criteria. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed approach.
